Problem
Heat exchangers are subject to severe
corrosion because of their construction,
which usually combines incompatible
metals and because of the volume of
polluted air passing through them.
Corrosion and pollution of heat exchangers
will directly affect the performance of the
air conditioning system. The heat
exchanger must be sealed off from the
environment in a manner that will not
reduce its heat transferability or cause a
pressure drop. When this is accomplished,
the cooling capacity will remain intact and
energy consumption can be controlled.
Why use PoluAl XT?
• To
 control cooling capacity and energy
consumption
• To extend the life time of the heat exchanger
solution
The Blygold PoluAl XT coating provides a long
lasting corrosion protection to heat exchangers,
without affecting heat transfer and pressure
drop. The system can be applied in the factory as
well as on-side.
The heat conductive pigmentation in the coating
is oriented in such a way that it creates a very
high chemical resistance at a low layer thickness.
In combination with the unique application
procedures of certified Blygold applicators the
PoluAl XT is the best available option to prevent
air conditioning failure and unnecessary energy
consumption.
